Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti combination ranks 1217 out of 1733 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. This percentile ranking, roughly in the 30th percentile of all tested systems, indicates that while this pairing is fully capable of running the game, it does not deliver top-tier performance relative to the most powerful hardware combinations tested. The data suggests a system that is balanced but ultimately constrained by its mid-range components, with the measured frames per second showing a wide range from highly playable at lower settings to borderline at maximum quality.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1217 out of 1733 tested combinations signals that it sits below the median of all tested systems for Minimum. This position is not a verdict of failure; rather, it reflects a pairing that offers solid, mainstream performance without pushing into enthusiast territory. The CPU and GPU each hold their own in their respective benchmark hierarchies, but their combined output in this specific title lands them in the lower-middle tier. When compared to other combos, this setup will handle the game comfortably at most settings, but it will not lead any performance charts. The rank suggests that users with this hardware should expect a smooth experience at 1080p and 1440p with adjusted settings, but should not anticipate maxing out the game at 4K with high frame rates. The data confirms that this is a dependable, workmanlike combination rather than a high-end outlier.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the primary driver of frame rates in Minimum, and its specifications explain the performance envelope. The GPU comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for the game’s demands, though it becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions where the 4K Ultra preset drops to 31.1 FPS. The card’s boost clock of 1665 MHz, built on the Ampere architecture, delivers a PassMark G3D score of 20349, placing it in the 69th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6700M, which scores 25180 and is only 0.2% faster, and the AMD Radeon RX 6600 at 25235, which is 0.5% faster. This tight grouping shows the RTX 3060 Ti is competitively positioned, but the measured FPS in Minimum reveal that the GPU’s raw compute power is tempered by the game’s optimization. The 16.20 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 253.1 GTexel/s texture rate are more than adequate for 1080p, but the performance drop at 4K Ultra indicates the GPU is working near its limits.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal balance between visual quality and performance is achieved at the Medium preset. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 130.7 FPS, which is a 23% reduction from Low’s 172.6 FPS but still provides a silky-smooth experience well above the 60 FPS threshold. Moving up to High at 1080p yields 106.7 FPS, which remains very playable, while Ultra drops to 80.5 FPS. The data indicates that Medium is the sweet spot for 1080p, offering a significant visual upgrade over Low without the performance penalty of High or Ultra. At 2560x1440, Medium produces 86.8 FPS, which is still comfortable, while High drops to 67.7 FPS and Ultra falls to 56.6 FPS. For 4K, the situation changes dramatically: Medium yields 43.1 FPS, which is barely playable, and High drops to 35.5 FPS. The recommendation is clear: use Medium for 1080p and 1440p for the best experience, and only consider Low at 4K where the 61.8 FPS result is the only playable option.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured results span three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a complete picture of the combo’s capabilities. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are consistently high: Low produces 172.6 FPS, Medium 130.7 FPS, High 106.7 FPS, and Ultra 80.5 FPS. This resolution is where the combo excels, with all presets delivering playable frame rates. Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers drop but remain respectable: Low hits 112.6 FPS, Medium 86.8 FPS, High 67.7 FPS, and Ultra 56.6 FPS. The 1440p results show the system can handle this resolution with adjusted settings, though Ultra dips below the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the performance declines sharply: Low yields 61.8 FPS, Medium 43.1 FPS, High 35.5 FPS, and Ultra 31.1 FPS. The 4K data reveals that only the Low preset is reliably playable, with all other settings falling short of acceptable frame rates. These numbers illustrate a clear hierarchy: the combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, capable at 1440p, and only marginally viable at 4K with minimal settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K demonstrates a significant performance drop that highlights the GPU’s role as the primary bottleneck. At Low settings, the FPS falls from 172.6 at 1080p to 61.8 at 4K, a reduction of approximately 64%. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 3060 Ti is being pushed to its limits as pixel count increases. The scaling is even more pronounced at higher settings: Ultra drops from 80.5 FPS at 1080p to 31.1 FPS at 4K, a 61% reduction. The pattern shows that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute resources are exhausted at 4K, particularly with demanding presets. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is not the limiting factor in this scaling; the consistent drop across all settings points squarely at the GPU. The data suggests that for users targeting 4K, the RTX 3060 Ti is insufficient for anything beyond Low settings, and even then, the 61.8 FPS result is marginal. The combo is fundamentally a 1080p and 1440p performer, with 4K requiring significant compromises.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, with 6 cores and 12 threads, plays a supporting role in Minimum’s performance. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, based on the Zen 3 architecture, provide solid single-thread performance with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2365. The CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities are demonstrated by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16758 and a PassMark multithread score of 19717, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11600H, which scores 19949 and is 0.2% faster, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX, which scores 19928 and is 0.3% faster. In Minimum, the CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to feed the GPU without becoming a bottleneck, as evidenced by the smooth scaling at 1080p. The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting component in this pairing; the GPU’s performance ceiling is reached first, especially at higher resolutions. The 5600G’s integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are irrelevant here since the discrete GPU handles rendering, but the CPU’s strong single-thread performance ensures consistent frame pacing.
